Here in the year 2025, as we navigate our own time of disruption and upheaval, how can we as individuals raise our voices and become the compassionate, conscious change agents our world so desperately needs? In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher Richard Rohr about his new book, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tears of Things<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and what we can learn from the \u201csacred revolutionaries\u201d who came before us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune in to explore: the prophet\u2019s mission and \u201cmaking good trouble\u201d; self-critical thinking (and how it\u2019s unknown to most major institutions); sacred criticism and the revelation of the shadow; the paradigm of order, disorder, and reorder; outrage, cosmic sadness, and unlimited praise; using anger to cover up sadness; grief work and \u201cgetting to the hallelujah\u201d; discovering the foundation of hope; contemplative thinking; conversion and transformation; opening to grace; letting go of control; why \u201cwhat we don\u2019t want to see is the problem\u201d; waking up from our collective illusion (especially around power and control); living in a deceit-allowing culture; the word \u201cevil\u201d; an ever-present sense of goodness in the world; holding the tension of opposing truths; gratuitous goodness; realizing a joy that cannot be taken from you; the prophet Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations; why the opposite of faith is not doubt but certainty; acting from the highest levels of motivation; and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insights at the Edge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&amp;As with our guests.
